  I'm reposting The Last Frontier of Christian Fiction . . . just because. How did you get here? No, really. How did you get into this life on planet earth? Yes, God breathed your creation. But after that? Those two people who are your parents—remember them? I know. Some of you don’t have the…

                                               It should be noted that when a novelist chooses to write in first person, he establishes his protagonist's voice. Opting to do the first person point of view limits the language, the actions, and all that the character does in order to stay in that character's skin. His perceptions drive the…

                                                                (Free for a review from the CFBA Tour)   Becky Wade's new release Undeniably Yours, published by Bethany House, fits snugly into that publisher's wheel house for romance novels.

Whether melancholy, humorous, exciting, or clever, a perfect first line can be enticing. But I don't base my liking of a story on that great…

  Donald Bellisario's typical season finales end in cliffhangers. If you've been a fan of his various hit TV series, you know this. So. Anyone have opinions on these two season endings for 2012 – 2013 episodes?             Good writers. Good series. Good season finales?   Father, please bless these cast…
